Talk:Charles A. Kupchan

I do not see Wikipedia article. 42900 Gmail hits may or may not suggest notability. Is it absolutely necessary to quote long paragraphs? These are why I question this article.--Jusjih 21:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

The page is indeed a little verbose as it is right now. I'll try to narrow it down a bit. – 158.38.53.241 14:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

From chapter 4, "The remnants of Gaullism..." – Not central to the thesis. Quite quotable though: I found this one the hardest to delete, and have no objection if someone wants to put it back.

From chapter 4, "At root, America and Europe..." – A rather vague statement when taken out of context.

From chapter 5, two quotes that simply restate well known historical perspectives.

From chapter 6, very slightly trim the longest quote, keeping the thesis and the context.

I hope this does not do too much violence to the article. It now stands at about 410 words quoted from a 416 page book. While the guidelines at Village pump remain unclear, a ratio under one word per page ought to be unobjectionable so I propose removing the {{checkcopyright}} tag. ~ Ningauble 16:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
